      Description

      The project collects landfill gas from the Manaus landfill to generate electricity and the surplus is burned through a high efficiency enclosed flare.

      Currently there is a generator group that uses landfill gas as fuel to generate electricity just to meet its own demand.

      It is planned to generate electricity for the grid, where the total installed capacity will be 19.2 MW (12 motors of 1.6 MW each). The estimate is that generation of up to 68,591 MWh will be reached in 2026.

      The Project is registered with the United Nations (UNFCCC) and the Gold Standard.
